Bill > HB792

This bill revises Montana's cannabis labeling and education requirements by expanding warning labels and mandating consumer education posters at points of sale. The bill requires marijuana packaging to include four specific warning statements: risks of consumption such as anxiety and psychosis, potential harm to pregnant and nursing mothers, and a warning about driving under the influence. Packaging must display these warnings in a legible font with a universal marijuana warning symbol. Additionally, marijuana businesses must display consumer education posters at sales locations that are at least 8.5 by 11 inches, include the universal warning symbol, list the text warnings, and provide contact information for resources to help individuals overcome marijuana addiction. The bill also grants the state department rulemaking authority to implement these new requirements, including specifying poster design, labeling standards, and establishing rules for investigating THC potency. The new regulations will take effect on July 1, 2026, giving businesses time to adapt to the updated labeling and educational requirements.
